Fun fact: Prince, being the practical joker, played a trick. "777-9311" was Dez Dickerson's actual phone number. When the song dropped, his phone kept ringing off the hook so much until he had to change his number!! 🤣😅😂
I was actually surprised to see someone attempt this remake, especially considering the classic and extremely complexed hat arrangement, but your remake sounds spot on. 777-9311 was one of my favorite old school tracks, so I thank you for keeping the classics alive. Keep it coming.
I love the older drum machines. They had what was called nuance programming capability. if you hear drum machines today like MASCHINE the hi hats sound dead. Here the cymbals sound realistic. Love old school!
i think the problem is the way the sound guy record the drum, and some cymbal sound warmer and darker than other, as an acoustic drummer i prefer Paiste over Zildjan, the Paiste formula where massively used for Roland drum machine and maybe Linndrum, with close mic instead of just overhead mic.
Just so you know, Prince did not program this, this was a stock preset pattern in the very first Linn LM-1 drum machine. The reason why i know this is because i have an original LM-1 drum machine and this pattern is on it.
@@ron.247 hats we’re not played live, the Hihat pattern is on this preset as well. The entire drum beat was programmed by Tower of Power drummer Dave Garibaldi.
It's like they put James Brown's footwork to a HiHat composition. I can so see James, Michael Jackson, or Prince being able to do those famous shaking steps to this.
Especially Prince in the 2000s did a lot JB like moves with his own, very elegant antics and signature moves. Morris' one foot trick in "cool" is also something i saw JB do....
This hi-hat pattern lays the foundation for the trap sound heard starting in 2011 or so. (I know some beat-makers/producers had that sound before that, but that's around the time I started to hear it more frequently) Damn your cover is clean!
i mean hes not wrong that it was songs like this (and drag rap) that inspired that first gen of 808rs like DJ Spanish Fly and Three6mafia to start incorporating constant hihats into their beats and this was perhaps one of the best examples of how playing with the rhythms of those hats could create more groove.
The Linn LM-1 sounds and LinnDrum sounds and Oberheim DX sounds were heard in some cover versions of some songs and some made up songs on the Kids Incorporated pilot episode.
Found this posted in FB “The Time-777-9311 Was A Stock Drum Beat In Prince's Linn LM-1 ($5,500 drum machine you know it wasn't The Time's) The beat was programed into the Linn LM1 by David Garibaldi from for Roger Linn.

I always thought someone played the high hat part on the original recording because the timing was late. This was a good recreation except that drum machine has very little swing time.
He didn't have to "NAIL it-" It's a stock beat that Came with the drum Machine- If you bought this machine - The drum beat came with it standard - Prince just wrote a song to it.
That sounds to me exactly like the original. That being said, is this the same machine with a few variations used for that air Jam type sound in the songs Erotic City and sex shooter? I've always wondered how that sound was made.
I'd say yes. However, I'm only 99% sure. Susan Rogers (Prince's sound engineer back then) has mentioned in a lot of interviews that Prince only owned and used a Linn LM-1, and never used a LinnDrum, which was the successor to the LM-1. There are, however, 3-4 tracks by Prince that sound like a LinnDrum, like "Possessed", for example. But I think it's mostly the way he processed and tuned his LM-1. The sound you're referring to, I think, is the flanger-like effect he ran the cabasa through on Sex Shooter, or the tom-like sounds on Erotic City. He either used his favorite toy, the Pearl Syncussion SY-1 on them, or ran them through other effect pedals.
Did you use real vdrums to record into the patch or was this done all by hand. I have this and it's awesome but I need some instructions on how to program "by hand" what I want. The instructions Aly gives you are very vague. Point us in the right direction if possible...
Albert Bailey hey, thanks for the comment! it was all programmed by hand. i do play some drums but this would've been impossible for me to play live. I'll upload a tutorial soon with some basics since a few people asked for it. see you around :)
Girardi didn't program shit. Jesse Johnson was trolling..no doubt upset that Prince wouldn't properly credit the work he did on Jungle Love. David gerabaldi didn't program the Linn beats at all.
I keep telling people that this is how they created the beat drum track for 777-9311 because there is no one that can actually play that drum track nor come close to it .it was actually programmed by a guy from tower of power no live drummer can play that
Jellybean Johnson can play it live and he did so when THE TIME played at First Avenue back in 1982. It's on RUclips. There are also SEVERAL drummers playing this beat on drum sets as well, with some even covering the song.
Scabies What's your Dr.'s number? I know you got scabs Penicillin needle this time Scabies Whats your Dr.'s number Girl you got a rash On your inner labia
WTF with trolling every video with this silly comment?? Of course it works also in Pro Tools using very well known VST/AU adapters available for many years like Patchwork.
one of the top FUNKIEST songs EVER written and laid down on tape....
This almost sounds exactly like the original recording. I'm very impressed
No dude, it's spot the f on!
The claps might have sounded a bit lower and fatter in the original, but that is a miniscule difference to the original, if at all!
I learned something new today. I’ve tried to recreate the high hat on acoustic and it’s incredibly challenging especially with the snare pattern..
@@dalaw123 Yeah the snare is off beat and the hi hat pattern is very intricate, wild that it was done on a drum machine considered primitive today
"I gotta be cooler than that cat you're sitting with"
Most people don’t know, Prince used this drum beat taken from the LM1 programmed by Dave Garabaldi. It was a preset.
Everyone knows now thanks to the internet LOL
@@djnitetrain6171 Just the kick and snare, not the hats.
@@josephedric4081 that's the other way around: just the hi hat, not the kick and snare.
*_Most people_* are capable of reading the video description
@@winstonwolfe5733 The hats are played with real hats from a live drum set. The kick and snare are from a drum machine. I stand by that.
Fun fact: Prince, being the practical joker, played a trick. "777-9311" was Dez Dickerson's actual phone number. When the song dropped, his phone kept ringing off the hook so much until he had to change his number!! 🤣😅😂
Kudos to all the drummers out there who worked their ass off gettin these high hats right👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Every inch of this joint SLAP!
I'll NEVER get tired of this beat. I can listen to it all day if I had to....
I was actually surprised to see someone attempt this remake, especially considering the classic and extremely complexed hat arrangement, but your remake sounds spot on. 777-9311 was one of my favorite old school tracks, so I thank you for keeping the classics alive. Keep it coming.
This the drum machine it originated from
Not a remake!! It was already a preset on the drum machine
I love the older drum machines. They had what was called nuance programming capability. if you hear drum machines today like MASCHINE the hi hats sound dead. Here the cymbals sound realistic. Love old school!
Cos it was early sampling technology, the hi hat starting point constantly shifts which is part of the charm of the lm-1 over other drum machines
i think the problem is the way the sound guy record the drum, and some cymbal sound warmer and darker than other, as an acoustic drummer i prefer Paiste over Zildjan, the Paiste formula where massively used for Roland drum machine and maybe Linndrum, with close mic instead of just overhead mic.
Elektron model samples or any other elektron box is sik
One of my goals is to recreate this for fun. It's a drum beat I been most intrigued with. Along with Something In the Water (Does Not Compute ).
Somthing in the water is a monster of a song!!!!!! My favorite on the 1999 album for sure
Dang, you are fine.
this man catcalling in the RUclips comment section
I did both with a DMX and a Sequential TOM
Just so you know, Prince did not program this, this was a stock preset pattern in the very first Linn LM-1 drum machine. The reason why i know this is because i have an original LM-1 drum machine and this pattern is on it.
Would you sell it?
Exactly. Hats were played live
@@ron.247 hats we’re not played live, the Hihat pattern is on this preset as well. The entire drum beat was programmed by Tower of Power drummer Dave Garibaldi.
or maybe you own Prince's LM-1 ;)
@@morten1 NoI do not own Mr. P’s drum machine however every LM-1 is programmed with the same preset patterns. :)
It's like they put James Brown's footwork to a HiHat composition. I can so see James, Michael Jackson, or Prince being able to do those famous shaking steps to this.
SHOOKEN definitely
great analogy
Especially Prince in the 2000s did a lot JB like moves with his own, very elegant antics and signature moves. Morris' one foot trick in "cool" is also something i saw JB do....
That entire pattern is just insane.
Got it nailed...even down to the claps.

Garibaldi only programed the kick (bass Drum) and the snare. Prince did the hat on live drums
@@joejones6007
Prove it!!
Incredible... hats off to you...
Prince was a genius
So was Tower of Power drummer David Garibaldi.
He programmed this beat for Roger Linn.
Agreed - taking this preset and being able to construct a song over it was amazing. The bassline he created to sit on top of this is sublime.
@@thesolitaryadventurer absolutely
@@AntwhaleNearfar , no. HE programmed drum kits included in Linn drum not 7779311 beat - Prince programmed.
Prince would’ve loved this
Prince would have said the real Linn was better. Prince seemed like the old school purist type. But I know I can't afford one of these 🤣
Prince would’ve sued. LOL.
@@agochoa well he's not here no more
agochoa yep 😂😂😂
@@agochoa hes not here no more
Now this is it, what a beat
Wow. VERY impressive! Sounds just like the record!
This was one of the main instruments Prince used in recording his hits.
I always thought someone played the high hat part on the original recording because the timing was late. This was a good recreation except that drum machine has very little swing time.
Outstanding!
Fly as Hell! Got it on blast, Nakamichi PA-7, Audio research LS9, Polk Sda Srs 1.2tl's and Polk DSW 660 knockin'!!!
...JELLYBEAN!!!
Very nicely done my friend...Bravo...!!!!
This VST is awesome! Love it!
I’d die to have that midi pattern
that HiHat pattern is still super ill today!!!
IUSECAMERAS it's like somehow off from the rest of the beat but not really. What the hell is going on there?
lol right!!!
Suuuuper ill!!
Perfection without the crash cymbal, only thing missed but excellent!
Ain’t nothing worse than rejection feel a lil better if you slap my face!
When I was younger I used to think 😮 someone was playing the SHYT! out them drums 😄
Outstanding!!
PERFECT! Sounds like you just recorded it off the record!
Perfect!!! Not to many people get it right!!! Accents in all!!
It's stock
Outstanding work!
do the dance electric next please!!!
The Oberheim DMX clap was heard in 777-9311.
Very good, crisp
Ok I want to see a video you doing this hi-hat patton on here please
PERFECTION!!!
Damn! You nailed it!!! Prince was a insane drum programmer. Shit is too funky!
Prince didn't program that pattern......it was a pre-set pattern on the Linn Drums drum machine, programed by Tower Of Power drummer David Garibaldi
He didn't have to "NAIL it-" It's a stock beat that Came with the drum Machine- If you bought this machine - The drum beat came with it standard - Prince just wrote a song to it.
GHEDIXON He did nail. This is a VST that did not come with that pattern in it.
Nicely done !
The fact of the matter is the LM-1 is the God Father of drum machines and was used on many big hits back in the day.
This is epic
I LOVE IT
No one would have given two shits about this beat if Prince hadn't created the entire tune around it.
Nailed it
Great!
awesome
What up we waiting on you to do a video of 777-9311
Fabulous recreation! Can’t find u on SoundCloud or facebook, though.
Thanks for the heads-up, gotta go through my vids and make sure the links are all up-to-date!
best ever
Great job! A tutorial would be awesome!
Seriously… I’ve been digging for a tutorial all day with no luck
Yep that's it.
The time signature on this drum pattern still confuses me till this day...(Morris Day that is ) ..but seriously...
It's in 4/4 time, as kept by the shakers. Tempo is 123.3 (as programmed on my electribe sampler) or slightly faster than that
4/4 Baby
Fucking SPOT-ON, dude! Great work!
Can you do a tutorial on the hats
do a video please ok
Great work! What DAW did you use? Also what swing settings?
Could u recreate DMSR please?
Damn.... Yeah... That's it!
On point
When a drum machine is in the pocket
Are these drum machines still for sale but not from EBay?
No crash cymbal?
I have the vprom anybody have this preset?
I heard he used a drum machine. Prince always said he had played every instrument on the times first 2 Al ups
Nice!
thts it
Hardest drum pattern to duplicate, even with air drum.
Good job. I might be wrong, but it seems like there's a beat missing.
Can I purchase this midi file from you?
Do you have the midi?
whats your phone number was sampled from this ( 2pac all eyez on me)

It was a Linn Drum with some analog flanger added.
Jon Lindsey no. LM1
Played at x0.75 it makes an ill trap/cloud beat
When Prince low key predated trap by 30 years lol
Fucking cool.
👀
Sounds great. Only thing that isn’t correct is the placement of the claps. But like I said,sounds great.

Cool really appreciate it looking forward to it. I can do everything else but the Hi-Hat is killing me can't figure it out.
OG Heartthrob. you need to do video how to the hi hat please soon as possible
MORRIS DAY
Prince. Played the drums on that track.
yo id pay you for this midi file yo seriously
This the original drum track.
Girardi didn't program shit. Jesse Johnson was trolling..no doubt upset that Prince wouldn't properly credit the work he did on Jungle Love. David gerabaldi didn't program the Linn beats at all.
I'm also unsure whether it's valid info or not, however Jam & Lewis said the same thing, too.
Ok it time you show us how you did the hi-hat part I know me and another want watch you do it......Come On Dude Let Get The Done Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!
David Tilley one can only dream
I only.ask
Will Farrell comes in with more cowbell at 4:55.
Hmmm.
Jellybean! Don't be so mean!
Why'd you take down your other Morris Day and Vanity beats?!
I keep telling people that this is how they created the beat drum track for 777-9311 because there is no one that can actually play that drum track nor come close to it .it was actually programmed by a guy from tower of power no live drummer can play that
